Extractions: Ad-ing to Geography Products Across Borders Complete Index Ad-ing to Geography Overview: Connections to the Curriculum: social studies, economics Connections to the National Geography Standards: Time: three hours Materials Required: Objectives: Upon completing this lesson, students should be able to classify several economic activities and to analyze these spatial patterns. They will use advertisements for contemporary products to explore economic and geographic concepts presented in the lesson. Geographic Skills: S u g g e s t e d P r o c e d u r e Opening: Give each student a magazine and ask him or her to focus on the full-page and two-page advertisements. Ask students to make a list of all the advertised items. (Students may need some help identifying what is being advertised, as some ads focus on services or community goodwill efforts not easily recognized as products.) After students have made their individual lists, have them meet in groups of three to five to make a collective list and write it on poster boards. Post these lists in the room. Compare the lists. Discuss which items are common to all of the lists and which are unique. Introduce the idea that geographers and economists use four categories to identify certain types of economic activities: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary (see definitions at the end of this lesson). Briefly describe the differences among the four and provide examples. Have students create a four-column chart using the four categories as headings and work in pairs to classify each of the advertised items within this chart.

Extractions: of E-Learning A critical look at the new technology By E. Wayne Ross T he digital revolution is transforming culture, communication, and commerce, but nowhere is faith in technologys power more clearly demonstrated than in the classroom. E-learning is about much more than just plugging in a classroom computer. Some advocates predict that computers and modems will replace pencils and books and others believe that brick-and-mortar schools (and all but elite universities) will soon be obsolete. In a recent article for Education Week , Peter J. Stokes, vice president of Eduventures.com, a market-research company in Boston, describes e-learning as, becoming literate [in] new mechanisms for communication: computer networks, multimedia, content portals, search engines, electronic libraries, distance learning, and web-enabled classrooms. E-Learning is characterized by speed, technological transformation, and mediated human interactions. Christian Science Monitor that the publics lack of questioning about technology is similar to the early euphoria over the automobile. The benefits are personally experienced while the downside is more diffused, says Scolve. It took decades before people started to balance the advantages of individual mobility and convenience provided by cars, with the collective impact of smog and unsustainable development patterns.

This week, Education World offers four lessons to help get them started on the road to financial responsibility! Included: Lessons about budgets, credit cards, producers and consumers, opportunity costs, and business plans. According to Youth and Money , a 1999 study conducted by the American Savings Education Council , fewer than half of U.S. high school and college students have a regular savings plan. Only about one-fourth of those students stick to a budget, and more than one-third don't keep track of their spending at all. Financial illiteracy isn't limited to students. Half of U.S. adults received a failing grade for their knowledge of basic economic concepts, according to a
